On March 29th at 8pm, millions of people in some of the world's major cities are going to be shutting off their lights. This is the result of a revolutionary collaboration of businesses, and people like you and me all around the world that care about global warming, and our environment. These are the beginning steps of spreading the word of such motivational actions taken upon, everywhere!
It all started with the simple question of asking how we can inspire people to take action on global warming, and climate change. The result was extremely successful with 2.2 million people in JUST Sydney, and over 2100 businesses taking action by shutting off their lights for one hour! The result was an amazing 10% drop in Sydney's energy use, which equals to taking about 48,000 cars off the road for one hour!
This year, March 29th will be the day where millions of people around the world will act together towards an extraordinary collaboration. I will be a part of it. Hopefully you will too, and you will spread the word about Earth Hour to your friends and family. Video and more after the jump...

It outputs zero emissions as you accelerate from 0 to 60mph, with a top speed of 125mph (which you should never be hitting unless under professional supervision), unless you count the fumes of the burning rubber! This is most definitely a luxury item and not something that the typical Joe who wants to get a Prius can afford. The technology put into the Tesla Roadster is highly advanced, innovative, and should be made mainstream for "every-day" automobiles. Now, this is definitely a bold statement, but it's more than possible! More after the jump...
